"I wanted to make sure I held him"

Honestly it would probably be best for Robby to retire from medicine entirely. He’s served his time, it’s clearly the biggest factor in his terrible mental health.

do you ever think about how the last person to ever hold louie's hand was emma, a young black woman who would've been the age of the daughter he lost had she survived, and just feel like you've been punched in the stomach?

“I wanted to make sure I held him. And that he felt me there as somebody who really does, not only value him as a colleague, but as, probably, a best friend. The line that gets me…I asked Scott to put the line about the emergency contact in there. I have a friend who, whenever I fill out the forms with my kids and it’s like ‘you need an emergency contact’, I have a close friend who I always end up putting on there who I know gets shit done. He’s my guy. So I just imagined Robby and Abbot had that kind of flavor to their relationship.”
